09 Mobile - Another International Card (!)

Ok, this week's competition is to find a new international SIM card every day of the week.

Here's my entry, on sale at Orate in UK, formerly a United Mobile agent. In a brief phone call, he told me that it is based in Iceland.

112 free incoming roaming countries, 170 countries in total.

Unless he's developed the whole product himself, the 09 may just be a rebrand, referring to the use of a call-through number in UK to enable cheaper calls to reach it from landlines. That access costs 20p/min from BT, whereas other call-through access to Iceland mobile starts from 8p or 10p/min via 0871 numbers

Orate also aren't necessarily cheap for SIMs ... so it is worth looking for other suppliers, just like the other one

We need to run a sweepstake for the next country to have an international SIM - favourite candidates so far - Andorra, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore

I found this from a Google search, not from an occasional revisit to Orate ... more searching needed ...
